Now I have realized that the Irish set has US International Legends, damn that's sweet  :o I'm a big time user of this layout.


Exactly, it does have the US International character set. I use it every day, and I can tell there is not actual need for the alternate legends to be actually printed; I know exactly where they are, at least the ones I use more frequently, but they look cool. In the other hand, as I prefer double shot Cherry caps I would never get a set like this, unfortunately.
I know them by hard too :)) and I prefer ABS to PBT but it's nice to see the layout printed for real on a set  :cool: :cool:

P.S. What is that surface underneath the board? It looks like the non-slip material on the bottom of a desk mat or something.

it's an exercise mat, haha. 

thanks guys for the kind words.  it's a really beautiful keyset.  i don't ever have the need to use international legends myself, but i love them as visual accents.

Thanks! I downloaded switchhitter and mashed on each of the keys, everything seems fine, but I have not experienced chattering myself so I am not sure what people have had issues with.

Nice! Yeah some people had issues with the switches deforming slightly during soldering which would affect the reliability of switches

Haha, it has been far too long...  :|  I'm slowly starting to work through my backlog of kustoms to build, so you should be seeing a couple more of these "aged" boards popping up soon.  ;)

Thanks guys!  Yeah the price isn't the easiest to swallow, but I really appreciate the attention to detail that GON has.  It makes it worth it, IMO (unless you lust after a hefty case).

Just assume 5 months if unassembled or longer if assembled and minimal communication. If those are your expectations you won't be disappointed.

I was deciding whether or not to get a GON NS or just settle for the acrylic cheaper one but after seeing yours I know I'm going to get the NS. I'm gonna do pretty much the same color scheme as YongJK did because I got the EVA Notilucous keyset a while back.

Not my board but I own a GON as well.
I used the standard 87 layout but I feel the 86 is nice aesthetically but since GON's NerD UI is so flexible you can literally assign anything to any keys.
The extra key at the bottom row for the 87 layout by default just toggles it to the 2nd layer.
I might change mine to the 86 layout as well but not anytime soon.  :)

That looks SO good, man!

Very well-coordinated. I love the screw color and how you worked with the key cap colors. :D

Congrats on one fine keyboard, good sir, and thanks again for the sky blue feet, gold stabs, and the Gateron space bar!

This was my first custom keyboard and also the first time posting on Geekhack, hope you guys enjoy!  :)

Thanks to E3E for swapping the silver GON feet with me and HoffmanMyster for explaining the possible layouts I can do with GON's plate.

your GON looks great, but what i really like is the grain for your wooden table.  wow.

Love this,  great looking board bro.

Wow, great board and pictures!  :)  Looks fantastic.  Hope you enjoy it!  :D

**** this is pretty.

Thank you guys for the kind words!
Wooden table belongs to a local antique shop and shop owner was quite surprised when I asked them if I could take some photos of it with my keyboard.  :))




Wow, that looks great! What an awesome combination of colors. Any reason that you switched the layout to ANSI 86?or was it just for appearance?

Not my board but I own a GON as well.
I used the standard 87 layout but I feel the 86 is nice aesthetically but since GON's NerD UI is so flexible you can literally assign anything to any keys.
The extra key at the bottom row for the 87 layout by default just toggles it to the 2nd layer.
I might change mine to the 86 layout as well but not anytime soon.  :)

Thanks! Most of it was for the appearance since not having that extra FN key does not really bother me.  :p  It is just visually more pleasant to me.
But it did take a lot of work for getting rid of that one key as I have to desolder everything and assemable them again.  :-X

No worries at all, I appreciate your help as well, man!  :D
Have you received your space bar yet? I was going to ask you about it just in case it gets lost on the way.

The Mobik is a 40% layout, the Nerd is the 60%. Same form factor I guess :p

Haha thats sort of hilarious. I bought a GON, had 1 set of blue feet and 1 silver. I sold the silver ones to E3E and then the GON with the blue feet to Icyskyz.

The keyboard looks wonderful Icyskyz, hope you are enjoying it.

Yes! I thought I mentioned that, but it was probably another case of me "writing something in my mind" as opposed to actually having written it down, haha.

Yep, it came in! I still have yet to do a stem conversion to make it ready for my Alps board, but when I do, then I'll have a full set of PBT caps just waiting for it. I'm excited!

Haha, yep! I thought it was really funny how we all ended up crossing paths like that and, at least for icy and I, ended up with our original choice in color for the aluminum feet.

Too perfect. :))
